Apr 02, 2026The Accidental Expert: Why Experiential Designers Learn It All
A career in experience design can truly be a journey to places unimagined. To design diverse experiences across community, entertainment, workplace, healthcare and myriad other space types, designers will find themselves building expertise in dynamic, diverse and uniquely fascinating fields they never realized they would be able to explore.
CannonDesign is excited to host SEGD NYC Chapter’s 2026 kickoff member event focused on this exciting reality. This panel discussion will unite distinct experiential design voices to highlight how they have become experts in unique worlds ranging from day trading to neurodiversity to theme parks and beyond. The group will focus on how endless curiosity and in-depth research can inspire other designers to deliver impactful spaces and experiences.
Join us for a creative panel discussion, open Q+A, networking and deeper look into CannonDesign’s world and NYC office.
